Cometeer's founders quit their jobs to perfect instant coffee, raising over $100 million and building a factory that produces $200 million worth annually. One founder became the world's youngest Q-grader at 19 after working on Colombian farms and opening a coffee shop at Princeton.
The hardest moment was going out, quitting my job, and starting the company with a credit card.
I've never smelled a coffee that smells like that.
We've come to New England to make content for you all. This content will include the world's fanciest coffee, drones, submarines, cures for cancer, and brains in vats. Cometeer has raised more than $100 million, and a significant portion of that money has gone towards his factory.
We dumped about $85 million into the complete renovations of the facility. We can do about $200 million a year. I actually had 4 roommates at the time. I'm just like spending all the time in the kitchen. My roommates were like, "What the hell is wrong with Matt? Graduated top of the class. He's just making iced coffee all day, obsessed with his iced coffee." These men are complete coffee obsessives.
When I got to Princeton, I opened up a coffee shop there. I spent a summer working on a coffee farm in Colombia and also took this coffee tasting certification. I ended up passing when I was 19 years old. I was the youngest Q-grader in the world.
